Genomic and RNA-Seq profiling of patients with HFrEF unraveled OAS1 mutation and aggressive expression.

Heart failure (HF) is a complex pathophysiological state characterized by inadequate delivery of blood and nutrients to the cardiac tissues. It is rarely curable and is commonly associated with a poor prognosis. In this study, we aimed to analyse exomic and RNA-Seq data from patients with HF to identify the key altered pathways in HF. Whole blood samples were collected from patients with HF and subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA-Seq analysis. The gene expression and RNA-Seq data obtained were verified using gene chip analysis and RT-PCR. Both exomic and RNA-Seq data confirmed the dysregulation of phosphorylation and immune signalling in patients with HF. Specifically, exomic analysis showed that TITIN, OBSCURIN, NOD2, CDH2, MAP3K5, and SLC17A4 mutations were associated with HF, and RNA-Seq revealed that S100A12, S100A8, S100A9, PFDN5, and TMCC2, were upregulated in patients with HF. Additionally, comparison between RNA-seq and WES data showed that OAS1 mutations are associated with HF. Our findings indicated that patients with HF show an overall disruption of key phosphorylation and immune signalling pathways. Based on RNA-seq and WES, OAS1 mutations may be primarily responsible for these changes. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
